Hi all,

In [1], Pratyush has expressed the wish to hand over maintainership of
Git-GUI. Since Git-GUI is an important tool in my toolbox, I would
volunteer to pick up the task.

Pratyush, please let us know if this would be OK for you.

I will let you all know if and when I have set up a repository to pull
from or to fork.

Yes, certainly! Thanks for taking this up and thanks for your work on
git-gui in the past :-)

Would also be good to send a patch to update Documentation/git-gui.txt
and Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

The Git-GUI repository that I now maintain is at
https://github.com/j6t/git-gui. I have cherry-picked a few commits from
the Git repository so that at this time its master branch is
tree-identical to the version shipped with Git v2.45.0, i.e.,
v2.45.0:git-gui =~ 8c60bdfc0dce.

I am about to apply the patch below to note the new maintainer.

I'll follow-up later this weekend.

Ah, that is part of my tree, not pulled from you via -Xsubtree.

Will do.  Thanks.
